Speratus: First you haven't proven the Baptists deny baptism as an efficacious means of grace.

Second: Your reasoning regarding the wickedness of baptists is still flawed. Do not Lutherans when they have catechumins that are not infants and not baptized baptize them after they have completed their studies and joined the Church? Why do they not baptize them first and then continue with their instruction? Are they not just as "wicked as the Baptists?

1. Their confession proves it:

Quote
Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, to be unto the party baptized, a sign of his fellowship with him, in his death and resurrection; of his being engrafted into him; of remission of sins; and of giving up into God, through Jesus Christ, to live and walk in newness of life.

1689 London Baptist Confession

Why did the baptists alter the WCF to remove any reference to baptism as a means of grace?

2. Again, I did not say Baptists were wicked. I assume trinitarian Baptists are Christians. I said they were acting wickedly by withholding baptism.
I am not aware of any Lutheran pastor who withholds baptism from anyone who desires it simply because they have not completed a course of instruction on the Lutheran Church. I agree that any pastor who withholds baptism in that circumstance is behaving wickedly.
